3. Top the sandwiches with the remaining slices of bread.

Variations:
Croque Madame: Some recipes simply add a fried egg to the Croque Monsieur. In the United States and England, the ham is usually replaced with sliced chicken breast and Emmenthaler is substituted for the Gruyere.
Monte Cristo: Dip either the Croque Madame or Croque Monsieur in beaten egg and grill as you would French toast.
